Millennials are taking over our working environment. This may sound like a catastrophe, but it is not. In fact, it is great news.
Generation Y“ or better known as Millennials are those born in the 80s and 90s. They can hardly remember a world without mobiles or without having information at the click of a button on the Internet.
It is claimed that this generation is the best educated in our history. Let's see why:
Your native ability to understand digital technology This makes them capable of integrating it, more intuitively and quickly, into their jobs. This ability, in the world we live in, is a crucial aspect that differentiates them from older workers. The lesser effort to take advantage of technology puts them one step ahead.
Millennials are accustomed to managing multiple sources of information simultaneously and efficiently. This is why its multitasking capability has developed to a higher level compared to previous generations.
Never before in history has there been A generation with a higher rate of higher education. Concretamente, más de un 34% de los Millennials poseen títulos universitarios. Por lo tanto, su mayor acceso a la información no sólo se ha dado en el mundo digital, sino a nivel educacional.
However, their educational process does not end there. They are aware of the need for continuous training to be able to advance within their companies, which are sometimes too rigid or old-fashioned for these types of professionals. This continuous training has 2 direct effects on their professional careers: they are more specialised and, at the same time, they are more flexible to changes.
This generation is connected to the world and they are more open to change Previous generations. Millennials are more accustomed to cultural diversity. This is not only due to developments in telecommunications and entertainment. It is also due to their notably greater knowledge of English, the universal language for both personal communication and business.
The conformism in which their parents were brought up no longer has the same effect on them. Millennials Go further owning a home or starting a “classic” family. For them, priorities have changed, with the development of their professional career being one of the most important.
Comfort has given way to challenges and recognition. This encourages them to be more proactive and less afraid when developing their own ideas and projects, making them a Entrepreneurial generation. This need for recognition requires a continuous feedback to set new targets and direct their career plan. This requires a change in the mindset of companies, which will need to adapt to their needs.
For all these reasons, we can affirm that The time of the Millennials has come and that their role in our society of tomorrow is in action.
